CARIBBEAN JERK SEASONING RECIPE



Caribbean Jerk Seasoning Recipe image

The Jerk seasoning quantity is a small amount of 2 Tablespoons. You can double that anytime to prepare more of the jerk seasoning. I find that 2 tablespoons is enough for a hot spicy chicken rub. Otherwise, I just prefer to prepare a new batch whenever I need it since the jerk spice blend has deeper flavors with a fresh batch of spices.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh herbs and spices will give your jerk seasoning the best flavor. If you can't find fresh allspice berries, you can use ground allspice, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Toast the spices: Toasting the spices before grinding them will help to release their flavor. You can toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Use a mortar and pestle: A mortar and pestle is the traditional tool for grinding jerk seasoning. It will give you a more consistent grind than a food processor or blender.
  • Taste the seasoning before using it: Jerk seasoning can be very spicy, so it's important to taste it before using it on your food. Adjust the amount of habanero pepper or scotch bonnet pepper to taste.
  • Use jerk seasoning on a variety of foods: Jerk seasoning is not just for chicken! It can also be used on pork, beef, fish, seafood, and vegetables.

Conclusion:

Caribbean jerk seasoning is a versatile and flavorful blend of spices that can be used to add a kick of heat and flavor to a variety of dishes. Whether you're making chicken, pork, beef, fish, seafood, or vegetables, jerk seasoning is sure to please. So next time you're looking for a new way to spice up your food, give jerk seasoning a try.
